Aussie will be stronger

Ricky Ponting said his Aussie team will be more stronger following the big letdown in Brisbane when the second Ashes Test begins on Friday. This is only the second time Australia has gone into the second test without a lead. Ponting said he think their bowlers learnt a bit about how hard it is to take wickets on flat decks. Mitchell Johnson, Aussie's bowler in recent times, seems to make way after his wicketless test in Brisbane. Aussie vice-captain Michael Clarke said he didn't play as well as he would have liked with the bat and in the field during the first Test, but he can't blame his back injury.

England have no selection worries and it would be a major surprise if there are any changes to the players who played in the first test. England is aiming to score runs in the first innings.
